This boilerplate allows building a working SaaS web application faster. In practice, it's a minimal SaaS application that has all the features that every SaaS app has like:
- Email authentication (with email confirmation)
- user registration, login, logout
- project infrastructure
- database models and scripts for updating it ("code first" approach)
- dashboard UI with all the scripts for faster and modern JavaScript development
- slick, responsive dashboard design
- custom components for fast frontend development (modals, tabs, alerts, and others) plus full integration with React-Bootstrap
- integration with FontAweson icons library
- modules (unique entities that are combination of frontend and backend API code)
- auto-registrating API libraries and blueprints
- JWT authentication
- RESTful API
- ORM-based database development - SQLALchemy
- error handling

- Automated initializing of services/extensions
- Predefined database models and automatic updates with script
- Customizable theme (based on Bootstrap 4)
